The single will contain the new track “She Sings, I Kill”, as well as another new song, “(Enter The) Twilight Coven”, which will be a B-side that is exclusive to this single. Both tracks will mark the first impression of the band’s upcoming second album, which is tentatively scheduled for an early 2016 release.

Singer Aryn Jonathan Black comments: “The time has come and thirst for travel has become an overwhelming urge for quite some time. We will quench these desires in November with a UK/Europe adventure. It is there we will bear the fruits of our labor in song with a view from our forthcoming album. The psalms ‘She Sings, I Kill’ and ‘(Enter The) Twilight Coven’ will be born!”

Pre-order the single on black or white vinyl from the Nuclear Blastmailorder.

SCORPION CHILD will tour Europe in November/December 2015 with CROBOT as well as BUFFALO SUMMER.

SCORPION CHILD‘s self-titled debut album sold around 900 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 26 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

“Scorpion Child” was released on June 25, 2013 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment, the new U.S. partnership between Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger and former Roadrunner Records A&R chief Monte Conner.

Former PANTERA and current DOWN and SUPERJOINT frontman Philip Anselmo has launched a new project called SCOUR, also featuring contributions from John Jarvis (PIG DESTROYER, AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED, FULGORA), Derek Engemann (CATTLE DECAPITATION), Chase Fraser (ex-ANIMOSITY, DECREPIT BIRTH), and Jesse Schobel (STRONG INTENTION, CAST THE STONE).

In a brand new interview with Hellbound.ca, Anselmo stated about the new project: “The SCOUR thing was something that just popped up, and it’s something that I think I can kill, something I can lay it out. They’re short songs. It’s a short EP, and that’s something I can knock out, I guess, after [SUPERJOINT is done with] the DANZIG tour.”

Anselmo continued: “I think [there’s] one of the fellows from CATTLE DECAPITATION, but it’s predominantly, in my ear, modern-ish black metal-sounding, thrashy black metal-type stuff. I’m going to put my own spin on it. I don’t have to sound like your boy from GORGOROTH [laughs] to get the point across, man. There’s other ways of singing over that style of music, and I shall employ many styles.”

In a 2012 interview with Terrorizer magazine, Anselmo said about his varied musical taste: “I am a lover of all sorts of music but really my heart is … really I love extreme music, underground music, whether it be grindcore, death metal, thrash, black metal, [or whatever other] subgenre, and I find beauty in a lot of this stuff.”

BLACK SABBATH earlier in the month announced the first details of a world tour that is being billed as “The End”. The North American leg will start on January 20, 2016 in Omaha, Nebraska, ending on February 25 in new York City. Dates in Australia and New Zealand have been confirmed for April, with more shows to be announced next month.

The band’s full statement read: “It’s the Beginning of The End. It started nearly five decades ago with a crack of thunder, a distant bell ringing and then that monstrous riff that shook the earth. The heaviest rock sound ever heard. In that moment Heavy Metal was born, created by a young band from Birmingham, England barely out of their teens.”

It continued, “Now it ends, the final tour by the greatest Metal Band of all time, BLACK SABBATH. Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler close the final chapter in the final volume of the incredible BLACK SABBATH story.”

The statement added that the tour “promises to surpass all previous tours with their most mesmerizing production ever … when this tour concludes, it will truly be The End.”

The original lineup of SABBATH reunited in late 2011 for a new album called “13” and a world tour. Although founding drummer Bill Ward was on board at first, he dropped out over what he called contractual issues. Ward will apparently not be part of the farewell tour either.

As the release date draws nearer for Natural Causes, the band is now giving the public a chance to sample segments from their entire debut album. Check out the exclusive clip HERE.

Natural Causes is available for pre-order on iTunes HERE. When purchased from iTunes, the songs “The Calling” and “Headshot” will be downloaded as “instant grat” tracks, meaning you will have the song immediately and the rest of the album will be delivered on release date!

Self-produced at The Porch Studio in Orlando, Florida with engineer Tim Laud, the guys maintained their singular perspective with Natural Causes. Merging intricate instrumentation with a seamless knack for melody, they conjured up a style as heavy as it is hypnotic.

Extensive tour plans are in the works, including a major tour announcement in the coming days. For now, AUDIOTOPSY urges you to simply close your eyes, open your mind, and let Natural Causes do the talking for them.
